Basically, you go through the process to buy it as a download, but at a point you get the option to enter an existing product key - this permits you to download it without having to pay again.

Install Windows on iMac with no DVD drive

I have a modified iMac. It has a solid state drive in leui of the superdrive. The SSD is a OWC drive.
How can I install Windows? I have tried modifying plist files, and kexts to allow me to use my MBA's USB superdrive, with no luck. I have also modified the bootcamp assistant to allow me to create a Windows 7 USB Installer from an ISO. However, when I initiate the installation, the computer restarts, and I get an error "No bootable device -- insert boot disc and press any key" I get this even though I created an installer with the BC assistant. I've tried doing this with thumb drives and external USB drives.
Can anybody help me out with a method of getting Windows installed? My computer is a 27" 2011 iMac. I cannot put the DVD drive back in because not only was it broken, but also because I then wouldn't be able to install Windows on the SSD.
Thanks.

You might have better li=uck of an answer if you post over in the Boot Camp forum where the Windows gurus hang out.

Trying to install iwork '09 from dvd on new imac with no dvd drive.....iwork is brand new (bought off ebay) in unopened box....I have at my disposal an older imac with dvd drive and a 16GB thumb drive...what is best way to load iwork on the new imac?

bought my mom a new imac this xmas...didn't realize it has no dvd drive....just picked up a new unopened version of iwork '09 for her to use off of ebay....need to get it loaded on the new dvddriveless imac......I have an imac at my house with a drive and a thumb drive i could bring over to her house if I could somehow burn an image of the iwork dvd on the thumb drive...is this possible? is there a better solution other than buying an external dvd drive?

First use Disk Utilty to make a disk image of the iWork disc on your iMac. Then there are two easy ways to install on your mothers new iMac. One is to copy to your USB thumb drive, visit your mother and install from the thumb drive. The other is to use a free upload and download service like www.wetransfer.com. Upload the .dmg disk image via www.wetransfer.com, then your mother downloads and installs. After installation you'll need to update iWork for Mountain Lion compatibility.

How to install 10.4 with no DVD

I would like to install 10.4 on my dad's computer (my old one) but it's a G3 with a CD only. Is it possible to get 10.4 on a CD? How can I make it work?

To confirm - you need a Tiger retail install package. If 10.4 was pre-installed on your Mac when purchased, you cannot use the 10.4 install package that shipped with your new Mac to installed Tiger on your old G3.
As Tom provided, after purchasing a Tiger retail install package you can use Apple's Media Exchange program to exchange the DVD media for CD media for an additional $9.95.
If your old G3 supports being connected to another Mac via Firewire Target Disk mode, you can connect your old G3 to your newer Mac via Firewire Target Disk mode with the G3 being the Target computer and your newer Mac being the Host computer. You can use the DVD drive on your newer Mac to install the Tiger retail install package on your old G3 but your Dad will not be able to boot from the Tiger retail install package in order to run Disk First Aid repair so you may want to use the Media Exchange Program afterwards and regardless.

Old imac with no dvd drive :-(

Hi all does anyone know if this will work:
I have an old imac i want to get OS tiger for it. i can only get it on DVD and my old imac only has a cd drive so... can i buy this? ->http://www.equanet.com/catalogue/item/PRIMFS38
and use it as an external dvd drive to do an install of the OS?
Alternative is to send the dvd back to apple and get the CD version.. does anyone know how long this takes?

It took about a week or so when we did it last year for one of
our old G3 iMacs. I think you have probably made the right
choice to get a Mac mini, though. No sense in investing money
in technology that old.
An alternative, though, would be to put the iMac into target
disk mode ("TDM"), cable it by Firewire to a Mac that has a
DVD drive, and install from that other mac onto the iMac.
Another consideration, though, on those old iMacs is that they
usually had very little memory (you need at least 512 MB to
run Mac OS 10.4.x, and 1 GB is really better) and small disk
drives. A 10.4.x install, by the time you put a few
applications on the disk, is getting close to filling a 20
GB drive (including swap space, etc.).
Again, you have probably made the right choice. You would
find yourself doing the upgrade cycle (memory, DVD, hard
drive, Mac OS 10.4.x) on the iMac, and, in the end, you
would have a slow computer on which you had spent almost as
much as you will spend on the Mac mini.

How to install Windows without USB or DVD drive on 2009 MacBook

Problem
I have a MacBook Pro mid 2009 fitted with both an HDD and SSD.
Obviously I had to remove the DVD SuperDrive to fit in the HDD into the Optical Bay.
This is awesome big and quick storage, but you can't use it for BootCamp anymore, BootCamp Assistant says. Because it needs the optical drive for installing Windows and it won't accept it via USB.
The good thing is, that you don't need the Bootcamp Assistant for installing Windows.
So:
I have Mac Os:X Mavericks working from my SSD (which I fitted to the HDD bay for increased speed)
The HDD is installed in the former optical drive bay, with one MacOS Ext partition for Mac storage and the other one being NTFS with Windows.
Solution
The solution is a little bit tricky, needs either a virtual Windows machine or a real one and it involves removing and refitting your hard drive, but on an older MacBook Pro like 2009s that originally came with an Optical Drive there is no other way. afaik.
Step 0.5
Backup your Data
Step 1
Partitioning your desired drive
You can do this using Apples Disk Utility if you have installed either Tuxera NTFS or NTFS 3G. Or you do that in step 3 in Windows.
I'd recommend a size of at least 30 GB, Windows 7 alone takes up around 20 GB
Step 2
Remove the hard drive and connect it to a windows machine
Afaik the next step has to happen in Windows with full hardware access. If you want to use a virtual machine i.e. VM Ware or Parallels you need to connect it via USB as an external device, otherwise it won't have full access to the partitions. Obviously you can use a real Windows computer too. Still you're gonna need to remove the drive from your Mac.
Step 3
Re-format and set "active" partition state
Format desired partition with NTFS, quick format works fine. (just in case)
Open your Windows 7 Image (or Disk) and Copy the directories "Boot" and "Sources" as well as "Bootmgr" onto the partition
Make the Partition bootable:
Using Windows XP, Vista, or 7, open CMD as Admin (Windows key + R, type CMD, hit Enter)
Enter the following commands, (replace X with what applies to your hard drive):
diskpart
list disk
select disk X
list partition
select partition X
active
exit
X:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 X:
Exit and shut down
(Source and additional images: http://www.instructables.com/id/Install-Windows-7-without-USB-or-DVD-without-upg ra/)
(If this is somehow possible using Mac Tools, please let us know!)
Step 4
Fit the HDD back into your mac
Just that.
Step 5
Install windows
Start your Mac and immediately press and hold the alt (option) key until you can select the other drive to boot windows.
Install using advanced installation to select the same partition.
Step 6
Clean up
After the installation press cmd + r (in windows) and type and run msconfig
Click to the Boot tab.
Click 'Windows Setup (\windows)', and hit Delete.
Click OK.
Click 'Exit without restart'.
And lastly, delete the ‘Sources’ folder from your hard drive root (this will free up 2-3gb).
Final Step:
Install the Mac drivers (Get the right version here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 )
Recommendation: Use Winclone Pro to backup your precious installation.

Have you tried resetting the PRAM? http://gigaom.com/2011/07/26/when-to-reset-your-macs-pram-and-smc/
Which Windows version are you trying to install? If I remember right, you can't use windows 8 on these older machines.
Other than that it's hard to say what could have gone wrong. I can only suggest going through the steps again carefully and making sure everything worked the way it should.
Have a look at this article too for a slighly more verbose instruction on making a drive bootable: http://www.instructables.com/id/Install-Windows-7-without-USB-or-DVD-without-upg ra/

How to install 10.6 with no cd drive into Macbook Pro

I have a 2011 mac book pro - I've removed the DVD and replaced with a second internal hard drive and have been running on 10.7.5
Now I need to re-install 10.6 from DVD but without a drive - made a bootable USB flash drive with 10.6 on it - but it doesn't seem to boot from this.
So anyone with ideas of how to do this would be appreciated

Thanks in advance!

Purchase new superdrive, takes 2-3 weeks for shipping at my city.
It can't be done. If your computer has an internal optical drive, working or not, that is the drive you must use. Only computers such as the Macbook Pro Retina/Macbook Air that have no internal optical drive can install Windows from an external drive.

How do I download/install Photoshop & Premiere Elements 10 on new iMac with no disc drive?

My iMac hard drive recently failed and I lost everything. I just bought one of the new iMacs with no disc drive. I had purchased Photoshop CS5 in 2011 but it came with CD's for install. I stil have them but it doesn't do me any good since there is no disc drive to put them in on the new computer. How can I install Photoshop using my serial number from my original purchase? I downloaded the CS6 trial version and when I try to activate it with my old serial number it says it is invalid.

There are links to trial installers on pages:

Download and install the trials, launch and activate them with your serial number then do 'Help > Updates'.

How to install office 2013 window on imac

how to install office 2013 window on I Mac do I have to use the bootcamp to install it ?

It does not run on Macs, only on Windows. So, yes, you would need to install Windows on your computer or:
Get Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
These two suites are similar to Libre Office:
NeoOffice - $30.00
Open Office
